See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
D Em A A
What you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world

Didn't you think you were worth anything?
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
What you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
Millions of us in love, promises made good
Your own flesh and blood
Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes
The beat, the rhythm, the blues
The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one
Didn't you think anyone loved you?
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
What you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
